This change to avoid the warning makes sure the compiler sees that we always set 'bno' pointer whenever we have a positive return code. The transformation is correct because we always arrive at the 'got_it' label with a positive count that gets used as the return value, while any branch to the 'cleanup' label has a negative or zero 'err'.
